Pros

Some of the remaining people were decent enough to work with, most were not. The pay and benefits were ok, not great but not terrible either.

Cons

Toxic company culture, zero work-life balance, little to no opportunity for advancement (unless you’re willing to suck up to the right people), departments are shockingly terrible at trying to work together.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very few. The lower level people are ok and some of the Engineers.

Cons

Company design is ALL about Corporate. NO consideration for the employees. NO BONUS or profit sharing. Low pay. Management style is deceitful and very poor as they Refuse to listen to the truly skilled employees and rather listen to the less experienced ones. No Morale. To make matters worse they hire some totally unqualified personnel and promote them to better positions. They're a French based company and it shows all the time. It's ALL about the French employees even though so many of the American Employees are the heart of the company.
